• [Data is analyzing a painting of Picard] 

  Lt. Commander Data : Interesting.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh. Thank you. In what way?

  Lt.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [strained]  Thank you... Mr. Data.

  Lt. Commander Data : You are welcome, sir. If I can be of further assistance...

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : No! Thank you.

• [Chief Inspector Krag has demanded from Picard to extradite Riker for trial] 

  Inspector Krag : He will be given a chance to prove his innocence.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Investigator, in our system of jurisprudence, a man *is* innocent, until proved guilty.

  Inspector Krag : In ours, he is guilty until he is proved innocent. And you are under *our* jurisdiction.

• [last lines] 

  Captain Picard : Number One, have we any further business in the Tanuga system?

  Commander Riker : Not that I know of. I'd be more than willing to put it behind me.

  Captain Picard : Then perhaps you would do me the pleasure of getting this ship underway.

  Commander Riker : With pleasure, sir. Ensign Crusher, set course for Emila 2, warp three.

  Wesley Crusher : Course laid in, sir.

  Commander Riker : Engage.
